I didn't save the original. Some mail you just don't think
will evolve into these fun threads. I've pieced together
some of the thread, mostly from our replies and quoting
the nutbag's material back to him.

You know, ive done nothing but, try to help you out from the get go and
right of you called me arrogant and in your first email you went off about
how 'my' page should be accessable to everybody! Well, granted I agree
that all pages should be accessable via any browser which is why our
entire site is text with the exception of the news site and various user
sites. Second off, your email was vague and saying that 'my site' is
black means nothing to me... which page... what part of the site... after
we got that squared away again, your taking more cheapshots at me for no
reason so... in light of that... you can take your toto zine and shove it
up your ass... your insulting my friends and your insulting me... we
provide this information as a free service we make NOTHING off of this
site and we do this on our own free time... we all have jobs (read:
lives). If you want to post all of our email in your pathetic little zine
then go ahead but, be forewarned that every bit of your email is gonna go
up on our site and we get over 4MILLION hits a month... im gonna make sure
your toto zine is looked upon as the most pathetic piece of garbage this
side of the mississip. So don't threaten my friends and quit insulting
people that provide a free service to you. Another words from ATTRITION
STAFF to you... FUCK THE HELL OFF!!!!

1. You can't use a browser properly... hell, you didn't even know which
one you were using!
2. You deserve to be on AOL, thats where you belong
3. You have showed to me if not the entire staff here that you jump to
conclusions based on the fact that I have an email address on the TEXT
ARCHIVE that I run the entire site.
4. I had fwd'd you email to the entire attrition staff hoping that they
may know what in the hell you are trying to accomplish in your email cause
out of 4 MILLION hits a MONTH we have yet to see a person that couldn't
view text on our pages.
5. Im almost 100% sure that your having issues with your browser settings
I.E. the color of the links/text may be set to black?
6. Your email was too general (at first) for me to help you... You said
you couldn't 'Read the pages' and that 'The pages came up black on your
screen'. That means jackshit to me... especially when you tell me that my
wording is confusing and you obviously got my email address off of my
SECTION of this site.
7. Sell your computer fast before you cause self-inflicted harm to
yourself and to others for you are in no position to use a computer.

Yeah, I count as a hit, and I can't read anything...what does that say to you?

Yes, YOU tried to help. But Comega and Jericho are nothing but fart-faces
high on the scent of their own putrid fumes.
So if I've mistakenly sent you any responses designed for comega, I apologize.

COmega and Jericho are 'fart-faces'? How old are .... errr... nevermind.
All I can say is that your domain says it all... words left unspoken.
Now that you have single-handedly made a feable attempt at insulting every
member of staff... go play in traffic!

Okay folks. Since this guy is so "wise," I say we let him figure his
lame-ass questions out for himself.
You brought it on yourself, dunderhead.
Get lost, lamer.

Be my FUCKING GUEST. I hope you don't MIND that I WILL be posting your
ENTIRE IDIOCY TO THE WEB. Let me know if you want to include the URL in
your 'article', ditz.
If your 'article' proves to leave out just one byte of the provocation you
gave me or any Attrition Staff, you'd best be prepared to defend yourself
legally. And you can quote me on that.

I thought women and writers were more intelligent than that. Not being
able to figure out a browser? Not being able to see from the multitude of
pages that basically say "we don't care".
It's wonderful people like you that must try to rag on others because of
your own inferiority complex. If you tell me a city/state you live in, I'd
be glad to recommend some professional help for you. You desperately need
it.
And since I doubt you capable of reading or finding the page.. this entire
site is run in the spare time by us as a free service to the web. Don't
like it? Don't like what we say? Quit mailing us and quit visiting the
page. We lose nothing.
And finally, this is warning that the piece of mail quoted above is
harassment. Any future harassment from you will be sent to AOL Abuse
department. We have a long standing relationship with them, and they are
usually quite willing to react to our complaints.
I'd say 'have a nice life', but it is evident you have none.

How about your zine?

Oh, a little bit defensive, are we? Don't worry...YOUR IDIOCY is incurable.
Yours is ingrained. Mine may be a lack of knowledge; but I simply asked a
question. Since you set up yourselves as the "experts" it should not have
been too hard for you to answer, politely, without all that patronization and
juvenile patter. Maybe that's what it was about...YOU couldn't figure it out!
My article will simply serve as a mirror to yourself and the organization you
claim to represent... (poorly, I might add)... So take a good, long look.
Don't threaten me bub--you're are waaay beyond your league. I've wasted
enough time here--I have all the material I need. TA-TA-

Are all of you people simply LUNATICS? "We're not what you call...ORDINARY"
You're right! "You're not what you call...sensible" either. DON'T WRITE ME
AGAIN.
I've had enough of your irritation. Your web page can provide nothing
valuable.

In conclusion, I find it ironic that she could read our page enough
to find and quote the "ORDINARY" bit, when that quote appears on the
front page, which she originally complained to Modify about.

Her claims of "simply asking a question" are laughable given the opening
mail and the "arrogance" bit.
